Well, it seems that selling the Gold card won't be an option on Finn. There may be other web sites though... And I'd expect at least a few thousand kroner for such a card! Please do tell it's also valid outside SAS, otherwise people might think it's just a worthless card with a crappy airline.

And for the goodie bag: it's nice that SAS tries to add benefits to Diamond, but I actually would like to have a different kind of benefit: typical airline benefits, for example. So far the whole goodie bag is useless to me, as it's sold out, not applicable or already something I have. It's too bad really...

If they gave away 2 vouchers for long haul upgrades to business class (or 4 for eco extra) instead (or as option in the goodie bag), I'd be very, very happy - and it's probably the cheapest for SAS as well, I think, as it may mean that people'd buy more long haul flights with them...
Or serve a (non-alcoholic) drink with a light snack of choice free of charge in Go to anyone with a valid Diamond card would also be a very nice benefit and still it won't cost SAS a thing: it'd only show off the benefits of being Diamond to other passengers. Who knows - it may inspire them...
A special hotline for Diamonds with additional benefits would also have been nice.

ps. Does anyone know how many EB Diamonds SAS currently has? And does anyone actually have gotten all the Diamond card yet? (ff card, phone sticker, credit card, luggage tag)? I got the phone sticker recently, still waiting for the rest (after many weeks).
